|
Star in the East is a Strangite Latter Day Saint paper from the succession crisis that followed the murder of Joseph and Hyrum Smith at Nauvoo. Its pages press the 'Claims of James J. Strang,' citing revelation through Joseph Smith, Strang's proposal to plant a stake of Zion at Voree, and the celebrated exhumation of a baked-clay case — the Voree plates — offered as proof of his prophetic calling. It is restorationist Mormon literature, concerned with prophetic authority, new scripture, and the gathering of Zion. Despite its name it has nothing to do with the Theosophical Order of the Star in the East, and the slug should be disambiguated from Krishnamurti's movement before any topic edges are drawn. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
